.Number of Rate For Divorce in Malaysia.

Hello guys..

How are you feeling today? i hope we are ready for our presentation next week, since our blog still not have rate of divorce, here im give a statistic of divorce cases reported in Malaysia. I take the information from the News Strait Times paper, and here i give the link to you refer it http://www.nst.com.my/nst/articles/06mar1/Article/ date on 11th September 2010 , and i think this is the latest one, but if you guys get the latest than this, just put it here. 

So, here the rates of statistic In 2002, for every 9.6 marriages registered, there was one divorce. Last year, in every 6.1, there was one.
 Researcher John Emmanuel Kiat said while the number of marriages had increased by 21 per cent (153,318 to 199,586) from 2002 to last year, the number of divorces had gone up by as much as 105 per cent (16,013 to 32,763) during the same period.

Kiat, a Statistics and Cognition tutor in HELP University College, described the jump as "statistically significant".

"The question is, would you consider this rise big enough to be regarded as a problem?" Dr Anjli Doshi-Gandhi of the National Population and Family Development Board said the rising rates could signify a turn in the public's perception of the marriage institution.

"Those days, being divorced was embarrassing and families lost face. Now, people are more open. Times have changed. "Marriages must be strengthened. We don't want what's happening in developed countries, where divorce rates are very high, to happen here."

The board, she added, counselled 700 to 800 troubled couples a year. Psychologist Charis Wong pointed out the challenges in marriages today.

so, from the number, she said, many couple don't know how to keep and save their marriage but just break it down without thinking first.  

The National Registration Department registered 2,706 divorces among non-Muslims in 2002, which subsequently climbed to 5,647 last year. Between 2006 and last year, the rates mostly stagnated at about 5,000 a year. 

However, seven months into this year, there were already 7,428 cases registered, way higher than years before.

There was an appreciable rise in the number of divorces among Chinese and Indians this year, said Universiti Malaya's Associate Professor Dr Tey Nai Peng.

"The high ratio of divorce over the number of marriages is a cause for concern. The rising rate may be a contributory factor to falling fertility."

As for the Muslims, the Department of Islamic Development recorded 27,116 divorces last year, up from 13,937 in 2002. Over the years, the upward trend has been quite consistent.

The divorce rate was still much higher among Muslims compared with non-Muslims, with the former making up more than 82 per cent of total divorces, said Tey.

noted : from this article, we can see the rate of divorce cases is so high. which is reported  every year and every month, Malaysian  cases of divorce going so faster than they are built to married.
